Freedom Day. Celebrate Juneteenth 2022 with KowTeff

Join KowTeff for the best yet celebration of Juneteenth Celebration! Enjoy a fun-filled day of FREE classes and activities!

KowTeff is pleased to announce our 12th Annual Juneteenth Celebration! Join us for our best yet celebration of Juneteenth (Freedom Day), the oldest known celebration commemorating the end of slavery in the United States.

This outdoor celebration is a full day of empowerment, fun, “edutainment”, health, cultural activities, music, and movement for adults and children — all free of charge! Community members will enjoy free Dance Classes in a variety of African Diaspora genres taught by renowned dancers and teaching artists. The Juneteenth Performance will feature an exciting line-up of dynamic artists from the African Diaspora. Entertainment will include live music, dance, spoken word, and much more! The African Marketplace features an assortment of vendors selling hand-crafted and internationally traded goods and cultural products. This year’s Health and Wellness Expo will include well-being resources and activities with a cultural flair, including a special (non-alcoholic) Sip-n-Paint for seniors. The Children’s Zone will offer kid-friendly entertainment and activities, including arts and crafts and a children’s West African dance class, face painting, and balloon art. The celebration will close out with the event’s signature House Music and Dance Celebration, featuring DJ Juwandi and an amazing outdoor block party vibe.

KowTeff’s annual Juneteenth Celebration has become a community staple, where people of all ages come out from all five boroughs to celebrate “Freedom Day” and African heritage, welcome summer, and be enriched, enlightened, empowered, and entertained through vibrant, diverse African Diasporic culture. Stay connected for further information on the teaching and performing artists, full schedule, and vendor registration!

This project is supported, in part, by public funds from the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
